Since 2021, Victoria Mansion has been researching and sharing the stories of the individuals enslaved by the Morses in New Orleans, and how their unpaid labor provided the funds to build this beautiful summer home. Victoria Mansion has been working with artist Carl Joe Williams to produce a piece of art to bring the stories of the Unwilling Architects Initiative to life.
Join Andrew Harris as Mr. Dickens for the retelling of three Victorian tales of mystery, intrigue and suspense. The performance will include one of the most popular stories from his American Reading Tour of 1867-1868, “The Signalman.”

Join members of Portland Ballet as they perform excerpts from The Victorian Nutcracker in Victoria Mansion's beautiful stair hall. This family-oriented event welcomes the young and young-at-heart. After the performance visitors will have the opportunity to walk through the house, see the decorations, and meet the dancers!
